Take this thread over to SC and you can blame lots of people. Heck, you'll probably even get some folks there to back you up depending on who you blame!

3 months to get plates and registration? Did you buy or lease? New cars= hop in and drive it. With modern materials and manufacturing techniques the car needs no break in period. Initial oil change at 1000-2000 miles won't hurt a thing. This will remove any contaminants that were in the engine when it was assembled. The main thing to watch on a new car is fluid levels and tire pressure. Check these at every fillup, especially important for the first few thousand miles. If the car is going to spring a leak it will virtually always do so when it is relatively new. When you get the oil changed have the tires rotated. It is easy for the shop to do while the car is on the lift. A good rule of thumb is that every 1 minute of labor and $1 spent on preventative maintenance will save 5-10 minutes and $5-$10 on repairs. Enjoy your new car!

Genesis 1:26 Though I am a non-believer I will point out that either you believe and accept or you don't. If you do then there should be no indecision. Harvest the grouse and enjoy. They are tasty critters.

Eh, very weak, if any, link between the two. To see the all-to-real consequences of overfishing, one merely needs to study the history of the cod industry in Newfoundland. Overfishing causing shark attacks? Much more likely the attack was caused by swimming near a shark that was ready for an easy meal. Humans in the water resemble wounded seals and are MUCH easier to catch than healthy seals or fish. Sharks are lazy creatures and know an easy meal when they sense one.

Godwin - you lose. Nice attempt to distract the conversation. I will take that as a concession. You lose.

The events in Libya never would have transpired had not the US acted in Iraq and Afghanistan. Sure it is better to achieve results with diplomatic ties. But when this fails, as it did in iraq, then other measures are needed. It would be interesting, prof, to hear just what value you put on freeing a country of a ruthless dictator that attempts genocide on populations of his own people? At what point do we say it just costs too much? $10 billion? $100 billion? $2 trillion? SH was captured fairly quickly after the invasion and was taken alive and stood trial. That's a far more diplomatic solution than Hillary saying "kill him" and the locals then doing just that. From that point of view GW was infinitely more successful than Obama. I'm glad people like you weren't running this country when WWII broke out. After all, Hitler wasn't attacking us.

That's not the way my friends who are in the military see it. They see it as Clinton allowed the attacks and it was Bush who got OBL. Obama just watched it happen. Anyhow you look at it, more tyrannical dictators have been overthrown and more terrorist leaders killed with less loss of US lives and treasure under Obama's watch than under Bush's. And Obama hasn't even posed under a "Mission Accomplished" banner. Didja notice it was the natives who took over the goverment and not the US? I wonder if that had anything to do with the cost to the US in lives and dollars. Indeed, a highly successful way of achieving US strategic goals with minimal cost to the US. Brilliant. Unlike pissing off almost all of our allies like GWB did. So because GW pissed off a few countries whose opinion doesn't matter anyway, it means BHO is responsible for the people of Libya tossing Ghadaffi Duck out on his dead ass? Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. The only thing the US did in Libya was with NATO. The natives started the whole thing themselves after seeing Iraq and Afghanistan lose their tyrants. With that in mind we could, and should, give GW more credit than Obama. The FACT remains that Obama has done nothing but coast through his first and hopefully only term. Nothing, that is, but waste hundreds of millions of dollars flying around in AF1 as if it were a C152. The idiot has no concept of how much his little day trips cost the US taxpayers. I suppose you also think Hill Clin did nothing wrong with calling for the killing of Ghadaffi? Since when has the USSoS had the authority to publicly call for the killing of a foriegn dignitary?

That's not the way my friends who are in the military see it. They see it as Clinton allowed the attacks and it was Bush who got OBL. Obama just watched it happen. Clinton presided over a vastly different country and in that world, peopled by allies and public opinion far different that what was HANDED to your HERO on September 11, 2001. Mr Missions Left Unaccomplished screwed the pooch when he took his eyes off the prize in Afghanistan and went after " That man tried to kill my daddy" based on the little whisperings in his ear by the PNAC crowd who surrounded him and wanted the oil... so they dreamed up half a dozen excuses to go after Sadaam.. who.. my oh my had not attacked us. Guess what.. GadaffyDuck did attack us.. over and over. Well, you're partially right. It WAS an entirely different country. Clinton led by example so we ended up with a country of "do whatever makes you feel good then lie about it", "I got mine", and "Responsibility? ME??? Ha Ha Ha...!"

Since you bring up Iraq, it's interesting to compare the chest thumping, lying strategy of the previous administration, with the expenditure of some $1Trillion and thousands of US troops' lives to rid the world of one oil rich terrorist supporting despot, with the strategy of this administration, in which minimal US assets were wasted to rid the world of another oil rich terrorist supporting despot. Oh, and then there's getting rid of OBL, a missed (f***ed up) opportunity by the previous administration, achieved without much fanfare by this administration. Of course they are incapable of seeing a difference.... stupid is as stupid does. John.. no matter how many things this president does right.. these lame mutherfuckers are incapable of giving him a win... period.. its not in their DNA. This dumb MF sitting in the oval office is yet another over educated dipshit put their by the dems. He, like clinton, won't do shit yet will take all the credit for anything that falls in his lap. I was really hoping Obama would do SOMETHING worthwhile, but he hasn't and probably won't. But that's what we get when a president is elected for his speaking ability and not his capabilities as a leader. It's too bad stupid people are allowed to vote. It only ends up with a democrat in office.

You forgot the missed opportunity to take out OBL by the Clinton administration because Mr. Bill didn't want to be disturbed while watching golf. Nice to give credit to this administration, though, seeing as how all the groundwork was started back when Reagan was still president. Or have you forgotten...or just ignored that little detail? Then again I am not surprised to see you bring up the monetary cost. It is, after all, comparing apples to baseballs.

Well, you never did respond to my post about the Dems being equally responsible for the shortage of voting machines in Franklin County. But then, you never do accept facts well.

Is that a crocodile tear we see for the man who brutalized his own people for 40 years??? do you really believe that story? Is it that hard to read the vast amount of evidence that is out there about the GaDaffyDuck's regime from in there??? evidence? like the evidence that Sadam Husein has weapons of mass destruction? Like the evidence that Osama Bin Laden was involved in 9-11 attacks? :) as I said, NATO does not need any reasons. Nobody dares (yet) to prosecute them. But the judgement day will inevitably come. Hey you can always go hide in the mountains with his remaining loyalists.... and fight that guerilla war for freedom to murder people who disagree with your martyred leaders whims... go for it.. Sorry bro. I don't like arms of any kind. I'd rather see these NATO war criminals in the courtroom and behind the bars where they belong. Well then form a nice little circle.. and sing kumbaya for world peace.... That seems to be how you wish change to occur... but I think you would see more dictator despots in the world than less. You seem to be missing the fact that a mass murderer, who you are whining about and supporting, lived by the gun...has just now... today ... died by the gun. You sure have had a change of heart since we took out the leadership of Iraq. But I guess since we now have a dem in the white house and Hill Clin called for Ghadaffi's killing it's all ok, right? That's what I thought. Just like it's bad for a repub to join the NG to avoid going to war but it's ok for a dem to outright lie and dodge the draft.

ID is one thing.. lack of voting machines in minority districts forcing very long lines in bad weather for low income people( nope no racism there bubba).. and all the other tricks the right wing is infamous for and are running all over the country likethey WON with in FL in Ohio ..... disgusting... So it was the Republicans that caused those problems? TSK TSK TSK.. of course you will not look at the things that reached up and slapped our democracy silly.... the ends justified the means. OHIO FLORIDA Personally I think a lot more people should be voting... and trying to make sure LESS people vote... is SOOOOO PATRIOTIC.. well done PARTY Of NO Evidently you either don't read or just ignore the articles you link to. "Franklin County election officials -- evenly split between Republicans and Democrats -- say they allocated machines based on past voting patterns and their best estimate of where more were needed. But they acknowledge having too few machines to cope with an additional 102,000 registered voters." I guess if it was the Republicans doing this then they had help from the Democrats.

What is wrong with proper ID to vote? You need it to buy alcohol and smokes. You need it to drive a car. It's just Moore and Co. to turn it into a racial issue.

Because the track wasn't heavily damaged. Moore's crash was as awful as anything I've seen (I was a few miles away when it happened) but it also occurred in the infield. Just seeing the video of this and the absolute mess it made on the track. I imagine some significant gouges and pits were in the track after this crash and I would think that it would be even more unsafe to proceed. This is conjecture but, jeez, looking at the devastation I would think that the pavement took a pretty good pounding. The track at Vegas was, in fact, heavily damaged and the track crews had to put down some patch material. It was a big ? whether the patches would have held up to the lateral forces given the brief time they would have had to set.

I can back that up 100%! I smoked for 22 years. This month make sit 11 years since I quit. I still get an urge to light one up, but that urge has progressively gotten less and less intense and less and less often as the years go by. Yep, I'm still a smoker. I just don't smoke. Yep, I'm just one tiny little innocent puff away from becoming a chain smoker. One thing I learned is that to quit you have to want to quit. You won't succeed quitting because somebody else wants you to, you have to be sick and tired of smoking. Then you can quit.

No form of motorsports is safe. Never has been, never will be. Yes putting 30 open wheelers on a tight oval track just makes it even less safe. Only time will tell if the IZOD Indy series returns to Las Vegas (maybe it's more of a NASCAR track), but I sure hope people take a step back and not venture into a "It's time to ban motorsports" rhetoric. I know you didn't call for an outright ban in this post of yours. But up here in Canada there is no shortage of the usual nanny state supporters who are calling for motorsports to be banned because of this fatal accident. These race car drivers know the risks, but despite the risks they know why they do it. There is a reason why 7 time World Champion Michael Schumacher is back racing in F1 after taking several years off (racing against many people half his age). It's because racing makes him happy and it is in his blood. RIP Dan No, I'm not calling for a ban, but questioning the wisdom of making an already risky sport even riskier just to increase specatator appeal. A few weeks ago in New Hampshire they restarted after a rain delay while it was still raining. Not good.
